No we can't go home like this Say you wanna leave, wanna leave When the bed's half-made and the light's blown out We can build our fate over hollow ground Open up the cage, let the birds fly out Like, like, like, like 'Cause we can't go home like this

The thing about you is you make me smile You build me up when I go down You give me strength, you give me power May no one come between this thing of ours Yeah, I want you baby, I'm glad you here I'ma take good care of you, I'm gonna put you right there

Don't stop, make it pop DJ, blow my speakers up Tonight, I'm-a fight Tick-tock on the clock But the party don't stop, no Till we see the sunlight Yeah, you got me DJ, you build me up You break me down

Don't stop, make it pop DJ, blow my speakers up Tonight, I'm-a fight Till we see the sunlight Tick-tock on the clock But the party don't stop, no Yeah, you got me DJ, you build me up You break me down

I can do it I’m only human And I bleed when I fall down And I crash and I break down Your words in my head, knives in my heart You build me up and then I fall apart But I’m only human 'Cause I’m only human, yeah I can hold my breath

Dum-da-da-da-da-da-dum I promise I can change See you can find me The tallest building, in the tallest city And I will build a ladder to the rooftops Screaming from my lungs, "I'm sorry I messed up" So darling, won't you stay here? Darling, if you stay

Turn up your night I will find you Make them dance Just like you 'Cause you make me move Yeah you always make me go I'll run away with your foot steps I'll build a city that dreams for two And if you lose yourself

Build me up! Break me down! You build me up, you break me down Until I'm falling to pieces. I crash and burn, I never learn, The price I pay to live this way, And the fantasy stays alive. I can't live up, I can't let down And leave you falling to pieces.

I'm gonna build a fire in the middle of July Burn your pictures and go for a drive Down to the river Watch the ink from your love letters fade Come back home and turn that old mattress over Pour out the whiskey try wakin' up sober Gonna change it all

Not ready to be found I'm just a lost boy So what are you waiting for Build your hopes up like a tower I'm giving you the run around 'Cause someone could love you more I'm just a lost boy, lost boy I say I wanna settle down As the smile fell from your
